The Enigma of Gertrude Stein
- bluebarbet 6mo agoSubject featured in a recent (hilarious, insightful) episode of Legacy podcast. Highly recommended.
- Oksim 6mo agoFun fact: my wife and I stayed in the Gertrude Stein room the American Club in Kohler, WI, and is the only reason I know who she is and clicked on this post. I'll have to listen to the podcast episode mentioned in a previous comment. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zwssf91DhQQu7kGX8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zwssf91DhQQu7kGX8

- robinhouston 6mo agoI haven’t read much of Gertrude Stein, but I often think of her brilliantly eccentric essay on punctuation[0], and especially her musings on the nature of the semicolon, whose crux is: “They are more powerful more imposing more pretentious than a comma but they are a comma all the same. They really have within them deeply within them fundamentally within them the comma nature.” [0] https://www.writing.upenn.edu/epc/authors/goldsmith/works/stein.pdf https://www.writing.upenn.edu/epc/authors/goldsmith/works/st...
